Stage 2 MU Rules: Shifting Competition from Hoarding to Sharing
Competition today in healthcare encourages care providers to hoard patient data. That’s inefficient, ineffective, and just plain wrong. But we’re seeing light at the end of the tunnel — the proposed Stage 2 Meaningful Use (MU) rules reinforce new, evolving accountable care payment approaches. The rules support moving competition in healthcare to the right bases — sharing and adding value to patient health record […]

Healthcare Apps: Just Scratching the Surface of the App Economy
The headline in yesterday’s LA Times declares: ‘App Economy’ credited with creating 446,000 jobs. What’s the App Economy? The App Economy is described and quantified in a report by Technet, a bipartisan and political network of technology CEOs. Nothing illustrates the job-creating power of innovation better than the App Economy. The incredibly rapid rise of smartphones, […]

Op Ed: Emanuel NYT Editorial is Irresponsible and Naive
Zeke Emanuel’s editorial in the New York Times — The End of Health Insurance Companies — really got my blood boiling. It’s irresponsible and naive. Former Obama advisor Emanuel “predicts”: By 2020, the American health insurance industry will be extinct. Insurance companies will be replaced by accountable care organizations — groups of doctors, hospitals and other health care providers […]

Op-Ed: ACP Doctors, Thank You for Acknowledging a Law of the Universe
Resources are finite. They just are. This is not an opinion, it is a law of the universe. Yet, for my lifetime, I have been incredibly frustrated by medicine’s cultural and practical lack of acknowledgement of this law. FINALLY, the American College of Physicians (ACP) got it. Kaiser Health News describes the revelation: The American […]
